072 peppers
Lin An really felt what it was like to be paid attention to.
During the time Qin Haoran stayed at her house, she felt that the eyes of those people in the village had never disappeared on her, and they were all eager to grasp the relationship between her and Xiaobaimian clearly.
Fortunately, this kid also knows how to be measured, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary in front of so many people, but it was rare to play with those children.
In fact, if Qin Haoran hadn't done that kind of thing to her when they met for the first time, she felt that the little white face was actually very good in some aspects, at least for the sake of friends, it was very righteous, but it was a pity that emotionally, it was too casual.
After a busy day's work, she finally gave away the signboard of the little white face, as well as the little living treasures in the courtyard, so she should be able to make time to clean up the gifts she received.
For the others, Lin An didn't feel much about it, and they all received it in the house, and the buns were put in his room if they were usable, and they could be put on a bookcase, counter, etc. as decorations.
Especially the box of rouge sent by Xiaobai Face, Lin An stuffed it directly into the bottom layer of the makeup box, and he didn't know if she would put it on her face in her lifetime.
But the old fox sent those that won her heart, everything Lin An cherished very much, that little foal, Baozi is afraid that he can't ride it at this age, so he changed the stable to a bigger one, and put it at home first. The spices are free up and put in the kitchen, and the rest are stored in the cellar for the time being, and they will be brought with them when they go to the county seat in a few days, and these things can be used in the barbecue restaurant.
In the end, she put her mind on the chili pepper, this is a big baby, but she must not be neglected.
Many of the fruits of the peppers have ripened, not to mention the Chaotian peppers, and so are the green peppers, several of which have turned red, and there are not many green ones. Lin An was also polite, and picked those peppers together. In this dynasty, chili peppers were not yet in vogue, and it was already difficult to get hold of these two plants, and she had to use them to grow more chili peppers.
However, Lin An still left a careful thought, Baozi had never eaten chili peppers, so he had to let him taste it after all. Chaotian pepper is estimated to be no, the taste is too spicy, and the small bun will definitely not be eaten. It's a pity that it's just that, if it's more, I really want to make this Chaotian pepper into chili sauce, think about it is delicious.
But it doesn't matter, just because it's not enough now doesn't mean she can't grow it.
She couldn't conjure chili peppers for no reason, but with chili seeds, it was much easier.
It just so happened that these peppers were fresh, and many of them were already red, Lin An dug out all the seeds inside, and the tops were hard and full, and those that were white and soft were removed, and there were many pepper seeds left, and the probability of such pepper seeds germinating was very high.
Lin An was looking forward to growing peppers too enthusiastically, and tried his best to make them germinate quickly, so he soaked these pepper seeds in water, let them absorb enough water, and soaked them for a few hours, so that they could give these pepper seeds germination.
Taking advantage of this time, Lin An put Chaotian pepper in the plaque again, and it is estimated that the family will not eat much of this, so simply dry Chaotian pepper and make it into dried chili, which can be used to make the base material or brine material of shabu-shabu, so that the barbecue restaurant can also launch the sale of braised vegetables. As for the rest of the green peppers, I took some of them for dinner.
Xiao Baozi came to him, and looked at his mother and relatives busy making this chili pepper, and her head couldn't help but tilt up, "Mother, why did you pick all the flowers sent by Uncle Mu, don't you like it?" ”
"Of course I do." Lin An realized that in this era, pepper flowers are mostly used as ornamental plants, "but these, not only flowers, they are all edible, and they are super delicious." ”
"Really?" As soon as I heard the word super delicious, the little bun was already excited, and even my mother said that it was super delicious, so it must not be wrong.
"Really, you'll find out when dinner comes." Lin An shredded the chili pepper on the side, and said, "This one, it's called chili, but it's a good baby, it's a pity that your Uncle Mu gave a little less, and if you want to get more, you have to take its seeds and sprout." When the time comes, we can grow slices of peppers in our vegetable fields, and you can eat as many peppers as you want. ”
"That's great!" The buns can't wait. Lin An didn't plan to make anything too fancy, so he just used it to make the simplest dish, and it was also the most authentic chili fried meat.
Because the buns can't be too spicy, fry the chili peppers in front, add oil and salt, and fry them as cooked as possible, so that the spicy taste of the chili peppers will not be so obvious. In fact, she doesn't need to bother with the dish of chili fried meat, just the taste of the chili pepper itself already has her very tempting deliciousness, which is the purest spicy taste that can stimulate people's taste buds.
In order to match this stir-fried meat with chili peppers, Lin An also made fried chili peppers and two simple home-cooked stir-fries.
Not to mention that Xiao Baozi is happy to eat, even Lin An feels that this is the most comfortable dish she has eaten in so long since she came here.
She is a person who is not spicy or happy, but whether it is dogwood powder or peppercorns before, it is not as spicy and authentic as chili pepper, but now she can finally make up for the regret in her heart.
It was the first time that the buns tasted chili peppers, and the two of them actually finished the whole bowl of chili fried meat with two glasses of water, and Lin An was a little supportive.
I have been waiting for those pepper seeds to soak for six or seven hours, just when Baozi bought him some rice paper on his birthday, Lin An soaked it in water and put it on the plate, and spread the pepper seeds on the rice paper, it just happened that the recent weather was okay, there was a temperature but it was not too hot, keep the humidity and temperature in this plate, and wait for about ten days It should be able to germinate.
During this time, it is a long and torturous waiting time.
God is quite beautiful, the weather has been good these days, there are Xiaobai in the barbecue restaurant they are taking care of, Lin An can save a little effort and put it in the small courtyard first.
The vegetable field in the old yard, many vegetables have been harvested, and the growth is not bad, but it is a pity that there are more than two people in their family who can't eat it, so they can be dried by the way, and they can't be pickled or given away, anyway, a little bit can't be wasted.
The beans left by Chaotian pepper and the old fox were taken outside to dry every day in these days, and when they were almost sunburned, he took them to the barbecue restaurant along with the spices.
The business of the barbecue restaurant has always been quite good, it is rare to have such a new restaurant, and it is a cooking taste that no other house in Pingxian County has, and it is always very popular. This time, with the addition of spices and dried chili peppers, Lin An felt that his barbecue restaurant stood out even more.
According to the previous method of making brine, the dogwood powder was replaced with dried chili peppers to make the spicy taste of the brine more authentic, and a pot of brine only needs one or two dried chili peppers, but it can be marinated into many dishes, adding several menus to the barbecue restaurant.
The remaining little dried chili pepper, Lin An cut it into small sections and then slowly ground it into powder, although there is no grinding machine, but with a little bit of mortar, it takes a little effort, and the effect is still there.
After making chili powder, she took the opportunity to let people put up a billboard at the door, and launched a cold salad every three days, which is a cold salad with chili powder.
Originally, at the beginning, many people were a little scoffed, and the specialties launched by other restaurants were all kinds of seasonal dishes, and only their barbecue restaurant actually sold cold salad as a specialty.
But soon, these people immediately tasted what it was like to be really fragrant.
Obviously, they are all ordinary dishes like other cold salads, and there is nothing special about the way they are cooked, but I don't know why, this cold salad is so spicy and delicious that it can make people appetite in one bite, and they can't stop their saliva. All of a sudden, their barbecue became a side dish, but the braised vegetables and cold salad were praised to the sky.
In addition to eating in the store, there are even people who come to the door to pack braised vegetables to take home.
Although Lin An also guessed that the response of the chili pepper must be very good, he didn't expect it to be so good. It's a pity that she only has such a little dried chili pepper made of Chaotian pepper in her hand now, and all those green peppers are hidden by her selfishness to make for the buns.
It seems that she has to wait for the peppers to be planted by her again, and when the time comes, she can harvest one by one, and she can do too much, chili powder chili oil chop chili peppers...... When you think about it, you feel like a new world has begun.
really lived up to Lin An's expectations, and after ten days, the bun that stared at the pepper seed plate every day finally called her numbly, "Mother, the pepper seeds have grown seedlings!" ”
Lin An ran over to take a look, and it was true, many of the plump pepper seeds had already sprouted small green buds, and it seemed that this germination method really worked.
She found a few more ceramic pots, filled them with moist soil, and buried the sprouted pepper seeds evenly in the soil, and then she could wait for them to slowly sprout and grow real leaves.
"Mother, why are you still planting in a flower pot, there should still be a place to plant the vegetable field in the old yard."
"Don't worry, wait for these seedlings to break through the ground before moving over."
"Dig them out when they're older?"
"Yes, as long as you water regularly to keep the soil wet during this time, small seedlings will emerge in a few days." From small buds to true leaves, the most fragile stage is to grow well, of course, it must be well grown in a pot, as long as it is kept moist and does not even need any fertilizer. In about three to five days, these small shoots can emerge from the soil and grow real leaves little by little.
After the leaves grow, you can transplant these seedlings separately to the vegetable field, and then pay attention to the planting distance of the pepper seedlings, you can use rice water to irrigate, add more fertilizer to the seedlings, presumably when the time comes, the pepper flowers will definitely grow fast. Lin An couldn't help but fantasize about the patches of peppers growing in the vegetable field in the old yard!
